2010 FLHX with V & H Pro Pipe. Tooling down the highway and the end cap and baffle fall out the back of the pipe. I heard a rattle, but thought it was in my saddle bag. Turns out the screws were vibrating enough to tear out the holes drilled in the pipe, and it all came loose.

Now for the big issue. The V & H part number for the exhaust is 1800-1211. The end cap I need is part number 23079. Turns out there are numerous versions of the Pro Pipe, and some online sites say part 23075 (the end cap for the older version) will fit the 2010. It does not fit my exhaust as I found out.

The problem is, I cannot find this end cap anywhere, and my local HD store ordered it for me a week ago, saying it would be two to three weeks. Talked to a guy at V & H yesterday and he said it could be four to six weeks, as they need to be CNC milled. SERIOUSLY????

He was nice enough to send me a new map so I can ride without the baffle, but that won't fly in Sturgis next month. I was hoping I could find a vendor that has the 1800-1211 exhaust and would be kind enough to sell me just the end cap until I could replace it, but nobody has one locally.

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, but I know there are a lot of guys smarter than me that read here. Please feel free to move the thread to the appropriate place if necessary.

It shouldn't have happened, and it shouldn't be this hard to replace a part.
Any input here guys?

Thanks in advance, and thanks as always, you guys are the best!

 

Now you've got me paranoid. Gonna have to check my screws on mine when I get home. Good luck in your search.
Just out of curiosity, have you checked with Kutter HD?

2010 Limited with some stuff

 

Ive got one. Don't know the part # The pipe was on a 2012 fat boy. Its in good shape no skins or rubs, changed it out for a race baffle, but traded the bike off a year ago, let me know. You can just call me if you want Dennis 1-573-717-0338

 

Me too. It's in pretty good shape. It was on a pipe bought in 2011 and which fit an 09 SG (the one with large 02 bungs). I'm out of town, but will be back Tuesday. Pm me if you still need one and if you can figure out if mine will fit. I assume difference is diameter. I remember the baffle is held on by three fasteners. Good luck. Check your fasteners.

 

Sorry to hear about your problem. A little PM goes a long way & can save $$$$ & headaches. Good luck.

 

Thanks Guys!
jefla, I sent you a PM.

I was off to the Iowa Abate Freedom rally over the weekend. In case you were worried, the midwest is not at a loss for it's share of degenerates!

 

Bigpick, sending you a phone text now....

 

I sent pics.

 

You guys are the best! Bigpick sent me the part I needed, and jefla also offered. I cannot say how much help this has been. I guess I made two mistakes. First, I didn't check the loose end cap, and then I did not come here first. I can only pay this debt of gratitude forward guys, please know that I will.
